I have not-so-secret hopes the new Matrix movie will be about the Machines saving humanity from itself.
The Agents are the good guys.

Hey, here in Hamtramck MI, the Polish capitol of Michigan and most of the country, that’s a Pączki. We get in line every year on Pączki Day (fat Tuesday) at 3 in the morning to get the best Pączki in the world at a real live genuine Polish Bakery with grandma out back making the dough. And don’t get me started on Chruściki.

I would be so embarrassed if anyone contacted my doctor to demand a certain type of treatment.
If I get covid or cancer or any other disease I would talk to my doctor about all treatments available, if it was a terminal situation I would definitely talk about any and all treatments that might offer hope but I would trust my doctor when he tells me a treatment shows zero promise or some crazy treatment shows promise.
I have two specialist that treat me, I trust them with my life and they will be my first phone call if I get covid. My first phone call will not be Facebook or Fox News or some wackadoodle lawyer.

Ya, she’s from Israel, born in Russia. She also laughs at North Americans making Borscht without any meat, “sure, if you don’t have any meat” .

I don’t know of any major Polish community here in Kansas City, but our grocery store carries Pączkis each year for about a week. Love those things - I buy all I can get.

It’s bizarre that you’d need to treat a non-existent disease at all.
Or if you do admit that it exists, but that it’s a super minor thing that’s “not even as bad as the flu”, also why treat?
If it’s just flat out kidnapping and murder under the guise of “Covid”, then why is Lin Wood’s ass still walking around. He’d be pretty high on my list before the several tens of thousands of regular citizens…

I don’t know if it’s the study you mention, but one of the early studies that got some people excited about using Ivermectin to treat COVID has been retracted because, basically, the author made everything up.

Sure, you can use mockaque, but it just doesn’t taste the same.

This man is a Bourbon.
Pretty obvious juvenile humour.
I never knew there were people who claimed it was an actual mistake. You live and learn.
Yeah no, they’re not the traditional Conservative Party. Economically, they’re Koch libertarians, and socially the religious fringe right has a lock on too many riding associations. The only Red Tories left are fools or pretend ones like Erin O’Toole.
Like the Republicans, they can’t be trusted to be in power, which is awkward since the NDP is failing to position themselves as an alternative ruling party. Eventually people will get tired/bored of the Liberals, and the Conservatives will get in again. Disastrously.

I didn’t mean ideologically, I meant the Conservative voters themselves. Kind of like how the Reform party fractured conservative vote in the 90s. It seems to be happening again with parties like PPC and Maverick capturing folks with more extreme views, like (ugh) Wexit. O’Toole isn’t helping the Conservative Party one bit, which I’d be happier about if the PPC wasn’t there to scoop up the folks he’s losing.

MOCK monkey? Only settle for the real thing!! 
OT a bit, but -
Oh please, start on Chruscziki! (my Busia spelled it like that) - there’s a food thread here:
Polish bakery is one of the good things from my childhood.

Thanks for the link. There are quite a few studies I’ve been linked to and many of them aren’t in the US or Europe, but South America and IIRC Asia. Oxford is in the middle of a large study which might shed light on its effectiveness or not.
I don’t think I have enough information to claim if it is complete bunk or not. As someone else said, if the makers of Ivermectin can prove it has an effect, you can bet your bottom dollar they would be promoting its use. But since they aren’t, yet, I don’t think it is going to turn out to be more effective than a placebo. I am just open to the medical community researching it, but not people self medicating/experimenting.
There are a lot of annoying “historical facts” that become popular knowledge, that turns out not to have been true. Like Nero Fiddling as Rome burned, or Marie Antoinette never said “Let them eat cake.”, or that Han didn’t shoot first.

In the case of “the earth is flat” myth, it was purposefully spread by American protestants to show how stupid catholics were.
